Lawn Care
Our comprehensive lawn care program focuses on building healthy soil ecosystems through organic nutrients. We apply balanced fertilizers six times annually, using EPA-approved products that promote deep root growth and natural weed resistance. Our licensed technicians customize each program to local soil conditions, including guaranteed grub protection and selective weed control that maintains thick, green lawns without excessive chemical use.
Liquid Organic Aeration
This innovative aeration solution improves soil structure without disruptive mechanical methods. Our organic formula penetrates 12 inches deep, creating space for air and nutrients to reach grass roots. This process reduces competition from tree roots while enhancing moisture retention. Unlike traditional core aeration that treats 5% of soil, our liquid solution covers 100% of the lawn area for comprehensive root development and improved turf density.
Perimeter Pest Control
Our perimeter pest control creates a protective barrier around properties using plant-based formulas. Technicians apply treatments 2 feet up foundations and 3 feet outward to prevent ants, spiders, and other pests from entering homes. The five-visit program coincides with lawn care schedules, using EPA-registered products that repel pests while maintaining family and pet safety through targeted application methods.
Flea and Tick Control
This specialized service targets flea and tick populations in outdoor spaces through seasonal treatments. Our technicians identify and eliminate breeding grounds while applying protective barriers that reduce disease transmission risks. The program addresses all life stages of pests, focusing on shaded areas and ground cover where these insects thrive, while maintaining environmental safety through EPA-approved application methods.
Tree and Shrub Care
Our arboricultural services focus on maintaining healthy ornamental plants through targeted treatments. The program includes dormant oil applications to control insect eggs, specialized fertilization for blooming shrubs, and deep root feeding for trees. Our agronomists develop customized plans that enhance plant vitality while preventing damage from pests and environmental stressors in Northeast Ohio's climate conditions.
